The Bluebook

Welcome to Sigma Nu's Recruitment Bluebook! It was launched at the 63rd Grand Chapter in Austin, Texas, and is a step-by-step instruction manual on how to create a values-based, year-round recruitment plan. Until now, VBR and the Recruitment Chairman's manual has been entirely theory based. The Bluebook is the next phase in VBR – it is the "nuts and bolts" or the "how to" of recruitment. For years we have been telling you why you should recruit and now we are showing you how. We believe the Recruitment Bluebook will revolutionize the way our chapters recruit.

We are challenging our chapters to not only create a year-round recruitment plan, but to actually use it. We want each chapter to use the Bluebook as a guide in being creative when developing a year-round recruitment plan that your chapter will buy into and use. We provide a number of plug-and-play templates that make this process even easier for you.

Below are a number of resources that will assist you as you work to create your year-round recruitment plan. All of these resources are explained in The Bluebook.
